The End the Wait Now! Campaign depends on the voices, stories, and action of many people with developmental disabilities, their families, advocates, civil rights activists, professionals, friends, and neighbors. Essentially anyone who believes that Maryland must address the Developmental Disabilities Waiting List where over 19,000 people with developmental disabilities and their families are stuck waiting for services.
